Guantánamo Attorneys Barred From Accessing, Discussing WikiLeaks Files 
------------------------------------------------------------------------



The U.S. Department of Justice has informed attorneys of prisoners at
the U.S. military base at Guantánamo, Cuba, that they can not access or
discuss the secret files recently released by Wiki Leaks because the
documents remain legally classified. Joseph Margulies, a Northwestern
University law professor told the New York Times he could not comment on
the newly disclosed assessment of his client Abu Zubaydah. “Everyone
else can talk about it. I can’t talk about it.”
